Is it appropriate to have your child...

... stay home with you for Take Your Child to Work Day if you are a SAHM?! My daughter has been looking forward to going to work with my husband, this year is the first year she can because you have to be 9. Well, my husband forgot to sign her up & it is tomorrow. She is heartbroken, I thought I could surprise her & have her stay home to see what my "job" is like while they are gone all day at school & my husband doesn't think it is appropriate. I'm curious what you think?

He seems to think that the school won't see that worthy of a missed day! You don't want to hear my reply to him insinuating that what I do all day is not worthy of being considered work!!!! I told him that there is a lot that she can do with me! She can help with everything I do all day long. She can help make breakfast, empty the dishwasher, wipe down the table, sweep the floor, do the dishes, sort the laundry, run errands with me, tidy up the house, entertain the baby, feed the baby her lunch, clean up those dishes!! There is a ton to do and the school day only lasts 6 hours!!!!

I think it would be good for her to go to work with dad. My daughter sees what i do all day long when on the weekends and summer vacation. It doesn't change.But there is nothing wrong with her staying home with mom to help out.
